It wasn't long before his thoughts had poofed into nothingness and he heard a knock at the door. He guessed it was Natalie.
He slowly got up from his bed and walked over to the door. For some reason he felt that Natalie knew him more than he did himself. She was sort of like this motherly figure, but not enough.
He opened the door and smiled up at her. "What is it?" he asked.
"Your father requested to see you. Up in his office." she waited for him to come out of his room, and as he did, she followed behind him.
He heard the door to his room close. Adrien was the boy who had everything, but that didn't make him happy. He kept a strong face and headed to his father's office. He knocked a few times, waiting for a response from his father.
"Come in."
He turned the handle.
"I would like to be alone with him."
Natalie gave a single brief nod. "Of course, sir."
The door closed behind her and she awaited outside.
Gabriel clasped his hands together and put them underneath his chin. "I see your grades have been dropping in that school. Are you getting enough sleep?"
"Yes father." Adrien loved his father, but couldn't help at it to begin to loose trust in him. He was tired of fighting for his father's love. He understood why he would worry about him. "I'll get them back up." he turned away and walked out. The blond heard his father call out his name, but all he felt was pain. He knew people had it worse than him, but that didn't make him feel any better. The blond could feel how his father stared at him and seemed to beg him to look back at him, but he didn't. All he wanted was to be with his friends. Alya, Nino, Kagami, Luka, and Marinette.
They were all so supportive of him. He gave a small smile to himself. Especially Marinette..
He slumped in his chair that faced his desktop computers. "I wish you were here, mom." he mumbled and then sighed. There wasn't anyone he could turn to. No one to really talk to him and really understand him. He wished he could just talk to Marinette now. She listened.
It confused him slightly why he couldn't really make words with him. Did she hate him? No. She remained to be kind to him.
His mind set on his best friend Chloe. He could talk to her, but he didn't want her to get the wrong idea. He simply closed her eyes.
Another idea popped in his mind. He could be Chat Noir and sneak out. He also needed an excuse on why he wasn't in his room. Taking a long relaxing shower? Perfect.
"Plagg?" he hoped his kwamii hadn't turned into a sock again. That scared him a bit.
"Kid, it's two in the morning. What is it now?"
"It's eleven." Adrien corrected the black cat. "Can you hold out a transformation even though you're tired? Maybe an hour or two?"
"An hour and that's it."
He gave the kwamii a grateful smile. Deep down, he was beginning to crumble. He felt jealous of Marinette. She has a loving mother and father while his didn't even bother to care. He was put into a lot of danger. "Nevermind. Get some rest." he said. His heart beat slowly.
Everything was going to be okay, right?
